DotLab is a personalized medicine company focused on women's health and is starting with the development of a cutting-edge molecular diagnostic test for endometriosis. Ten percent of women of child-bearing age suffer from this debilitating disease, which takes an average of a decade to diagnose. We're looking to change that.

While much of the approach to endometriosis is marred by complexity and misinformation, we're looking for someone who is excited to significantly improve the journey and make a lasting impact in women's health. The ideal candidate is excited to ensure this potentially life-changing test reaches the women who need it.

This Vice President of Finance, reporting to the CEO, will understand complex business challenges, define strategic solutions, and execute cross-functionally to achieve objectives.
